(b)

Piggyback Registrations. The Company shall notify Investor in writing at least thirty (30) days prior to filing any registration statement under the Securities Act for purposes of effecting a public offering of securities of the Company (including, but not limited to, registration statements relating to secondary offerings of securities of the Company, but excluding registration statements on a form S-8 or S-4, or any successor forms) and will afford Investor an opportunity to include in such registration statement all or any part of the Registrable Securities then held by Investor. Investor desiring to include in any such registration statement all or any part of the Registrable Securities held by Investor

shall, within twenty (20) days after receipt of the above-described notice from the Company, so notify the Company in writing, and in such notice shall inform the Company of the number of Registrable Securities Investor wishes to include in such registration statement. If Investor decides not to include all of its Registrable Securities in any registration statement thereafter filed by the Company, Investor shall nevertheless continue to have the right to include any Registrable Securities in any subsequent registration statement or registration statements as may be filed by the Company with respect to offerings of its securities, all upon the terms and conditions set forth herein.

(i)

Underwriting. If a registration statement under which the Company gives notice under this Section is for an underwritten offering, then the Company shall so advise the Investor. In such event, the right of Investor to include Registrable Securities in a registration pursuant to this Section 5.03 shall be conditioned upon Investor’s participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of Investor’s Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the extent provided herein. If Investor proposes to distribute its Registrable Securities through such underwriting, Investor shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the managing underwriter or underwriter(s) selected for such underwriting by the Company. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if the managing underwriter(s) determine(s) in good faith that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of shares to be underwritten, then the managing underwriter(s) may exclude shares (including Registrable Securities) from the registration and the underwriting, and the number of shares that may be included in the registration and the underwriting shall be allocated, first, to the Company, and second, to Investor. If Investor disapproves of the terms of any such underwriting, Investor may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company and the underwriter, delivered at least ten (10) business days prior to the effective date of the registration statement. Any Registrable Securities excluded or withdrawn from such underwriting shall be excluded and withdrawn from the registration.

(ii)

Expenses. All registration expenses incurred in connection with a registration pursuant to this Section shall be borne by the Company. Investor participating in a registration pursuant to this Section shall bear its proportionate share (based on the total number of shares sold in such registration other than for the account of the Company) of all discounts, commissions and selling expenses incurred in connection with a registration pursuant to this Section.

(c)

Indemnification. In the event any Registrable Securities are included in a registration statement:

(i)

By the Company. To the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless Investor and each of its Representatives, against any Losses to which it may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state law, insofar as such Losses arise out of or are based upon any of the following statements, omissions or violations (each a “Violation"): (1) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in such registration statement, including any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or any amendments or supplements thereto; (2) the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; or (3) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any federal or state securities law or any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any federal or state securities law in connection with the offering covered by such registration statement; and the Company will reimburse Investor and its Representatives for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them, as incurred, in connection with investigating or defending any such Loss; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this subsection shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such Loss if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), nor shall the Company be liable in any such case for any such Loss to the extent that it arises out of or is based upon a violation which occurs in reliance upon

and in conformity with written information furnished expressly for use in connection with such registration by Investor or its Representatives.

(ii)

By Investor. To the extent permitted by law, Investor will indemnify and hold harmless the Company and each of its Representatives and any underwriter, against any Losses to which the Company or any such Representative or underwriter may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state law, insofar as such Losses arise out of or are based upon any violation, in each case to the extent (and only to the extent) that such violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by Investor expressly for use in connection with such registration; and Investor will reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company or any such Representative or underwriter in connection with investigating or defending any such Loss; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such Loss if such settlement is effected without the consent of Investor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; and provided further, that the total amounts payable in indemnity by Investor under this Section in respect of any violation shall not exceed the net proceeds received by Investor in the registered offering out of which such violation arises.

(iii)

Notice. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section of notice of the commencement of any Action (including any governmental Action), such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the parties; provided, however, that an indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, with the fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if representation of such indemnified party by the counsel retained by the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential conflict of interests between such indemnified party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action, if prejudicial to its ability to defend such action, shall relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the indemnified party to the extent of such prejudice under this Section, but the omission so to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party will not relieve it of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section.

(iv)

Survival. The obligations of the Company and Investor under this Section shall survive the completion of any offering of Registrable Securities in a registration statement.
